My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.
What stuff do you think is common?

What if the room doesn't have a bath in it? Wouldn't that be a bit odd?
Like the Americans calling it the restroom. Do they go there to have a bit of a lie down?
Do you really want us to be like Americans? Huh? Do ya?
